Ionia County residents who live in Boston, Keene and Campbell townships can vote Tuesday in a millage that would provide funds for the district's schools.

A proposal for the district to authorize a 1 mill sinking fund is on the ballot in order for Lowell Area Schools to remain competitive and draw families and students to the district while school of choice options exist, according to a letter from Lowell Area Schools Superintendent Greg Pratt.

"If approved, 1 mill will generate approximately $730,000 each year for seven years," said Pratt.

The funds would be used to make improvements and repairs to school facility infrastructures. Without the funds, money from the general fund would have to be used.

Pratt said security and safety enhancements, a roof replacement and an asphalt replacement are on the list, as well as energy savings.

All voting for those townships will take place at the Boston Township Hall in Saranac.
